Vaporwave movies

[jellen]

Anyone know of any good ones? Old or new.

The Flying Luna Clipper (1987)

This is a pretty bizarre one that was made entirely with MSX computers and methods normally used to make visual novels. Japanese media portraying Hawaii is peak vaporwave IMO. It's about a bunch of anthropomorphic fruit and animals boarding a mysterious magical plane. The plot is pretty nonsensical but that's not too important. It's a very short watch and it's free on youtube, totally worth checking out.



August in the Water (1995)

Directed by Gakuryu Ishii, who in my opinion is the king of vibes and texture. It's a sci-fi movie about a girl who starts developing strange alien abilities and "discovers her place in the universe", it's one of the most visually beautiful movies I've ever seen in my life.



Liquid Sky (1986)

Set in a neon-drenched NYC to a somewhat hilariously shitty sounding MIDI soundtrack, it's about invisible aliens who gain sustenance from watching people having sex. It's as gritty as it is otherwordly.

Death Spa (1988)

Reaching deep in the bag of obscurity here. If horror movies are ice cream then Death Spa is the whole freakin' Baskin Robbins selling on a busy street in California. Every frame explodes with color. If you like Suspiria, check this one immediately.

Chopping mall (1986)

Amazing synth music , empty mall and killer robots



Turbo kid (2015)

again amazing soundtrack and pretty good story in a retro futuristic post-apocalyptic setting

Haha, that's an adorable middle finger for analog purists. This movie is so full of vintage synth aesthetics there's even a part dedicated to Roland CR78 drum machine. But I get what you mean.

Looker (1981) - rather mainstream movie, but still forgotten. Great mix of visual cliches and interesting ideas, mainly digitalisation of one's image for commercial purposes.

There's also that really weird film ticking some aspects of vapor visuals, especially colors and lighting, but it's... a postapocalyptic porn. Cafe Flesh (1982) is dark and decadent adult movie about "sex positives" and their role among impotent social majority.

n 1982 a television news crew from the Midwest arrived in Los Angeles to document the making of a pornographic film. The adult videotape market was just beginning to surge, inspiring these savvy TV journalists to take a behind-the-scenes look at a typical porn production. The news crew's...

なんて楽しいスレッドでしょう。ヴェイパーウェイヴの美学を生かした映画があまりないのには驚きました。サイバーパンク映画はたくさんありますが、本当のヴェイパーウェイヴ映画として数えることはほとんどありません。映画がヴェイパーウェイヴ映画になるためには、ヴェイパーウェイヴがインスピレーションを得た素材だけでなく、ヴェイパーウェイヴのように見える必要があると思います。

これは間違いなくヴェイパーウェイヴ映画として数えられると思うものです、それは奇妙なコンピューターレンダリングです

より多くの映画がヴェイパーウェイヴの外観を利用する必要があります、それが物語形式で視覚的に表現されているのを見るのはとてもクールです
